My second K98 lsr Mauser build, but this time in 8mm.06

[mil-surp60]

This is my second lsr sniper k98 build , the top rifle was a 200.00 cabelas all scrubbed markings off the rack special czec brno with winter trigger guard, Bottom rifle is a 42 8mm.06 chambered k98, i got it in a sported stock , scored a nice k 98 stock and got exact same mount and scope , Weaver k4's for project.
I have to say i love the 8mm.06 round , far superior to the original 8mm mauser , should make a great long range shooter rifle. You see the 8mm.06 round laying next to the 8mm mauser my brno lsr shoots both my handloads. I know what the brno is capable of but cannot wait to see how far i can stretch the 8mm.06 range and performance over the 8mm mauser rifle , be 1 great shoot out lol.That range report will deff come soon.
I did all the work on top rifle wood, rebluing,trigger polishing job, mounting scope mount and scope. The second will be easy to do. This will be an interesting shoot out between the two rifles. The top rifle is very accurate to 500 meters, that is as far as i have shot with it so far it can do farther both have mint bores. I think this should be a great comparison of the original 8mm mauser and the wildcat cartridge its up against , both are 170 grain bullets. and i have loads in 150 grain for both for this match up. Both are loaded with 4064 powder, the 150 grain have cci 200 primers and wlr primers,, the 170's are same primers and powder. Data from the hornady manual.
